Carlos has been one of the top imports in recent memory.

Like someone said previously, the reset that seems to be happening is exciting.
Been long overdue.

The new Centre of Excellence looks like a game changer, and ties in with the new philosophy.

I think/hope we'd use Sutcliffe as a 2nd row next season. And go with Carlos and Wynne as our starting centres.

We are losing Mau and with all the young lads around i really think we should be looking for an established second row with size who offers more than Sutcliffe unless the idea is to use Ligi Sao in that position.
A second row of Savelio and Lane hardly inspires if we are looking to really compete next season
Would rather see Longstaff here than Sutcliffe.The lad has real potential works hard and good pace for a second row but we have to be careful as we dont want to overload the squad with smaller fowards as we already have Cator,Lane,Fash Brown likely to be in and around the 17

If we’ve got the dosh and the overseas spot, I’d be talking to Kalepi from Wakey if he’s available.

Be surprised, given what a big Hull fan he is.

Didn't you say Ligi Sao to Cas too?

Re: Shopping List 2023 : Fri Jul 15, 2022 6:09 am  

Brent Read (aussie reporter) has said Hoy is officially a done deal.

Hasn't heard anything on Gamble or Wakeham. Wonder if these were the other options if Hoy didn't happen.

Hopefully Walker can stay fit and we can make his deal permanent, we could take a more patient approach with Trueman.

Everything points to Jake in the halves next season

Kelly minichello and manu all better for starters for me

Kelly was a class above when at his best

Very rare Carlos was a class above at his best

Poor comparison with Lyon if I may say.

If you believe that a player scores 7/8 out of 10 he is doing a very good job. Comparing him to Lyon is naive. Players of that quality no longer play in SL.

Carlos has had a few injuries of late but is still one of the best centres in SL.

Sutcliffe an upgrade on Carlos? absolutely no chance.

players like Percival, Wardell, langi, may, King, Kenny dowell, lafai are all better than Carlos

Then players like Najaima, Gildert, Goodwin better in last few years aswell

Say he's been a good servant Carlos but not quite as good as some of our fans make out

I'm almost certain he never once scored a hat trick for us which for a centre isn't a great stat as most centres have a field day at some point
